April is more than your lies

You wanted to eat just now, didn't I share it with you just like before?Even if you want to eat more, it's not impossible...and what I will give you is not just snacks!

Kazusa puffed her cheeks and defended.

"Always use this kind of bullying statement..."

"Sorry sorry."

Shingo smiled.

"But if you want some snacks, I won't be polite!"

Volume 39: Chapter 38 Chapter [-] An Extraordinarily Long Night

As for the snacks, we had to wait until tomorrow to enjoy them. The time after dinner today was extremely long, which was beyond Shingo's expectation.

The way Hesha looked over seemed a little different from usual...

Not so cold anymore, but more intimidating. As long as he looked at her, his mind would be racing, so this time, it was his turn to play the piano in confusion.

"I told you not to be brave."

Hesha's voice was the same as usual. It was like the alto of a cello, low and meaningful. That little bit of reproach was the "secret" that made every syllable she spoke rich in texture.

"What's wrong with your hands being bandaged? Let's talk about it later... I've never seen you take it so seriously before."

"Actually, it doesn't matter."

Shenwu stared at his palm. The lustrous whiteness of his skin contrasted sharply with the paleness of the bandage soaked in medicine.

He felt that he was in excellent condition at this time, so good that he would definitely succeed in whatever he did. The most important thing was that he wanted to play the piano!

However, his piano sound was indeed messed up. As for the reason...

My mind seemed to be swayed by the light spots that penetrated the shade of the trees, flying like the red cherry blossoms that were about to fall today, and turned into circles of ripples when they fell to the ground...

With such an uncertain teenage mind, of course he couldn't play a piece of music well - at least until he found a piece of music that could express these thoughts, Shenwu couldn't play it well.

"I'm in perfect condition..."

"Showing off one's strength..."

Hesha moved her body, trying to squeeze Shingo who was sitting next to her from the piano bench. After failing, she just let it go. She didn't know that the sight she wanted to inject with anger was filled with spring water. Such a smile.

Just let you sit here...

Despite this thought, she mercilessly slapped Shenwu on the back of his hand as he was playing the keys - after playing the most basic practice scales, of course it was just boring playing the keys, no matter what kind of variations were used to modify it. , are all like this.

"Don't interrupt my practice."

"Ah."

When she said this, Wosamoto was already prepared to be teased by Shingo. She just couldn't guess whether Shingo would pinch her cheeks or lift her hair to play with it.

But either way, she could justifiably scold this guy gently and let him go and have a good rest.

But Shenwu just responded. He put his hands on his knees and his sitting posture was barely upright. It seemed that he planned to stay in this best audience seat and not move.

"Fuck you... you're lying in that doghouse, or reading a book. I can't play the piano if you're like this."

"All right……"

When playing with four hands, they would not be affected by each other's presence at all, but Shenwu walked away without even a rebuttal at this time, but there was just a little reluctance in the response.

"..."

Why are you really leaving...

The thoughts of girls have always been difficult to figure out. If they get close, they will arouse resentment, and if they stay away, they will arouse complaints... If they continue to hide these little emotions in their hearts, for boys who are not so smart, , it is even more difficult to handle.

Hesha silently pressed her hands on the keys. When she played the first syllable, she caught Shingo's attention - her piano sound was also chaotic.

"It seems that we are all in good condition today."

Shingo teased Hesha with such a self-deprecating joke, which made Hesha's eyes that had originally wanted to avert his eyes suddenly become a little sharply annoyed.When he walked slowly to the piano, the girl who was full of temper still didn't look away.

"Then... let's take a rest, Kazusa."

"..."

Since the word "ye" is used, then...Shenwu will accompany him, right?

Hesha remained silent, but her mood became lighter when Shingo finished speaking.

"Let's make an agreement first. Even if you want to study by yourself, you are not allowed to drag me along."

"As I said, it's time to rest."

It seems that, like every student with poor grades, Hesha also keeps away from learning.

Although he never intended to force Kazusa to put much effort into learning, it was not until this moment that Shingo had a clear understanding of this point in his mind.

"Besides, on weekends, rest is a matter of course."

"Then you go to the dojo to fight..."

There was a weight on my shoulders that came down with a reassuring warmth. Those were Shingo's hands...

Hesha raised her hand and held Shenwu's palm. After applying a little more strength, she was satisfied with the firmness of the touch.

"Rest... I have been unloading for a long time today. After you went out, I accidentally fell asleep. When I woke up, you were already by my side... It has been a long time since I played like this. Let’s play piano for a while.”

"Even today, I spent much more time practicing piano than usual..."

"That's because you indulge yourself too much..."

Hesha was not angry when her self-reflection was interrupted, and her tone of voice was as relaxed as ever.

"However, it's not bad to have a day or two every once in a while... to take a rest or something."

"One or two days...? Hesha..."

"You don't want me to be lazy tomorrow, right?"

Shenwu always pays attention to some subtle details, so this time, he thought of something beyond Hesha's consideration.

But at this time, Hesha followed his thoughts. This may be due to the fact that they were undoubtedly feeling each other's temperature at this time.

"Indeed it is..."

When it’s okay to take more rest, then take more rest.

Shen Wu has always lacked a sense of urgency. In his eyes, certain daily things are optional.

"My hand is not injured..."

"As I said, this little injury won't affect..."

The tone of the two people is also synchronized in a less forceful way. In their minds, there are probably hundreds of reasons that can soften their tone, right?

"Anyway, if I ask you to play the piano now, you are just lazy, so don't say such pretentious words at this time."

"I just haven't thought about what music to talk about..."

In fact, I have already thought about it.

There is such a piece of music that can convey my feelings to Hesha at this time, but if he really wants to play it, wouldn't it be equivalent to a confession for Hesha?

Shenwu didn't think that Hesha didn't know some of the simplest common sense of music. Even if he took ten thousand steps back on this basis... the emotion he felt when he played was not something that could be hidden at all.

Boys, before they grow up, they always lack a little "determination".

Volume 40: Chapter 39 Chapter [-] No one likes a playboy

Tonight has still not passed...

This must be blamed on the coffee pudding the two of them had together...

Sugar is something that can subtly excite people, plus the effect of caffeine...

The alarm clock used to remind the time was pressed by Shenwu as soon as it rang. This was one of the rare times when he went to bed late without being immersed in something he particularly wanted to do.

Even when they were with Hesha, they didn't do anything at all - just chatting endlessly, and they didn't enjoy it very much. They talked here and there, but they didn't end up talking.

Shenwu finally had the opportunity to mention what happened in the dojo today. He was sparring with his senior brother who was almost 20 years older than him. Even though he was not superior in physical fitness and skills, he used his right fist that was like a sudden flash of inspiration. He won the victory and even got a promotion...

Hesha asked why the karate promotion exam was so sloppy, and Shingo said that it was an internal rule of the Kamishinkai, and he didn’t know why.

Kazusa once again asked him not to fight again, but Shingo said there was no guarantee.

After being slapped strangely by Hesha, he mentioned the snack shop he found while shopping in the mall today. It was said that it was a very high-end shop with top-notch materials and craftsmanship. The coffee pudding they had together today That's where it comes from, maybe I can check it out tomorrow when I have some free time.

Hesha thought for a while and agreed, but she had to practice piano tomorrow and couldn't continue to be lazy, so she waited until next weekend or a certain time after school next week.

Shen Wu agreed that he could stop by for some shopping. It would be a pity to just buy snacks if it was a rare trip.

In short, they talked about these bits and pieces. It wasn't until Hesha yawned lightly that the two of them realized that the hands of the clock on the wall had already passed midnight.

"Is it already this time?"

When I was alone, I would probably wash my face and then go back to my nest to lie down...

But now, there is another Hesha in the spacious kennel. They are sitting side by side, with the tableware that has been put away beside them - even the packaged snacks, Shingo is used to serving them on a plate, and Hesha is not satisfied with this. He didn't say much, since he didn't want her to wash the dishes anyway.

"I'm a little sleepy..."

Hesha said this, but she had no intention of moving. After gently stretching, she curled up, and the distance between her and Shingo seemed to be closer because of this movement.

She should have said something like "It's time to rest" next, but she didn't say anything, and Shingo didn't seem to know.

"You said before that sometimes you don't come back to your senses until very late, right? During those times... what were you doing?"

"Um……"

Shingo thought.

It was less than a week since Hesha reappeared in his life, but he would occasionally fall into a strange trance, as if the daily routines he once had were already far away from him.

"They are all there, doing all kinds of things... playing the piano, reading, exercising, and playing video games, there are many things..."

"Video games? I've never seen you play them..."

This is not the first time I have heard this word, but there is indeed nothing corresponding in Shenwu's life.

He Sha looked around, seemingly looking for traces in the hall that could correspond to it.

"Don't you like it too much? Then you can still enjoy the game..."

"Probably, I don't play much...but there are times when I suddenly want to play. Look, that is the game console, connected to the TV...the two handles are the controllers."

Shingo smiled.

He caught Hesha's gaze, so he explained.

"Would you like to give it a try, Kazusa?"

"Don't... what you boys play are all noisy and noisy things. I don't want to play..."

Hesha shook her head. This was not her usual duplicity, but that she was really not interested in video games.

"Besides, didn't you also say that it's just an occasional play, and it's probably not that interesting. Don't tell me, it's actually quite interesting, but your level of interest is only enough for you to play it occasionally."

"..."

What he wanted to say was spoken first, and Shenwu could only remain silent. He still couldn't guess what the emotion hidden in Hesha's eyes was, but his thoughts were also filled with this indescribable feeling. Emotions become more volatile.

They can be close to each other, and they can have physical contact without any sense of violation. Even the so-called "safety boundaries" in interpersonal communication are not impossible to cross. However... many dodges and avoidances happen for no reason. With.

"really……"

Kazusa sighed.

"You guy..."

"Don't say I'm a philanderer."

In some unimportant aspects, these two people are better at guessing each other's thoughts than the other.

Shingo raised his eyebrows and pretended to be angry, but Kazusa didn't dodge his gaze when he returned, so it became a game where whoever blinked first would lose.

"It's obviously...something that has never happened before."

Saying this sentence seemed to take a lot of effort, so much so that Shenwu took a deep breath before finishing these few syllables.

"It shouldn't be wrong to say that you can't settle your mind, right? You've admitted it yourself..."
